This position’s primary purpose is to conduct research for extramurally funded scientific studies. In particular, the research focus for this position is the study of alcohol-associated liver disease through the use of rodent, cell culture, and translational models. Various proteomic and epigenetic techniques are used to investigate alterations in post-translational modification (PTM) of hepatic proteins, specifically within metabolic and redox-dependent pathways. Specific duties include animal handling, enzyme assays, 1D- & 2D-SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, LC-MS/MS sample preparation and method development. The researcher will aid with day-to-day operations of the laboratory, including management of graduate students and undergraduate researchers.

Key Responsibilities

Conducts experiments using various proteomics techniques to investigate alterations in post-translational modification of proteins due to metabolic toxicity. Specific duties include animal handling, enzyme activity assays, 1D SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and assistance with day-to-day operations of the laboratory.
Special emphasis is placed on skills in molecular biology techniques and processing murine tissues for analysis.
Method development in advanced HPLC-MS/MS techniques, particularly for PTM capture and detection (immunoprecipitation and click-chemistry).
Compiles and records observed experimental results, analyzes and interprets data, and documents results used to support manuscripts and grant applications.
Collaborates with the principal investigator and other research staff to review scientific literature and develop experimental protocols.
Keeps up to date on lab related research and technical advancements.
